Really? That's why it's not doing JFK DCT. Oh, I forgot, it is. And using about 10T less fuel and taking about 25 mins less flight time. Granted, the 200LR would be better
Yes, yes. But the reason its doing the nightshift JFK, is that the ER gets shagged by the temp's in the summer months, so its marginal on the morning JFK. Hence the 203/4 and the new HAM/JFK. No way will it do the direct SYD or MEL either, 200LR's no probs. The 340-500 may burn more fuel, but it has the range with no problems or penalties. Bottom line they are both good aircraft

Sorry 'bout the threadjack.
